why fashion

I think that so much is made of size in today’s society which makes women more conscious of their size. This mean that the vicious circle can never be broken unless we accept that all women are of different sizes. I think that although being thin has received a lot of bad press in the last few years, there are people out there who are genuinely naturally thin. Likewise with curvier, heavier women. I don’t believe there is a ‘too thin’ as long as the person in question is healthy.

Our obsession with weight and size means women now squeeze themselves into clothes they cant fit into or beat themselves up if they have to go a size bigger. The fact of the matter is that you look better in clothes that fit you and if you have confidence, you look amazing. As for sizes, I believe that there is too much difference between sizes in different brands to be able to say anything constructive about which are ‘too big’ and which are ‘too small’. Someone who is a size 10 in one store may be a size 14 in another so sizes are irrelevant. Only the person wearing the clothes knows what size they are, it is just the way you look when you wear them that translates to others.

It is true that women’s body shape is varied, more so than men, and I think that although our society is so set in its views about ‘plus size’ and smaller sizes, all women have the potential to look amazing as long as they dress correctly and true to their size. And also if they have the confidence to break the mold and go against the grain of acceptance in society.
